Week 40: Slip That was close! Nearly missed posting before the week starts again tomorrow. i’ve begun to add color to a drawing that i liked as just tone. Luckely, i can save it in that state, as well as experiment with colors. Here’s a silly little stream write instigated by a near slip. Slip: […]

Week 39: Genie Pool This drawing, A Resting Place has become a Genie Pool. Final details are taking time. Thought i’d be done by now but can’t delay posting any longer. So, it will change again… And… some musings sparked by the benevolent buffer of a Genie Pool, a mysterious place that appears, a resting,

Week 38: Crow Splash This variation complete at last. The end of the week becomes the beginning of another… Swoosh! Time escapes me… Sometimes you feel like all you do is poke around at the edges. Surprised! by a form or a whole that takes shape. Maybe it felt like a hole or maybe a

Week 37: Replace i have 5 color works complete and another 7 are close with only incremental differences. So, this week i’m sharing a new pencil drawing, not just line, this time. Also a stream writing as i haven’t shared one in a bit. Replace: Replace one group with another, replace one interest with another,

Week 34: Yin Yang Twirl The tennis ball in this drawing became a little yin yang. i’ve been thinking of cycles, spirals, turning, & twirling, of letting go of old patterns and structures seeing the conditions ripe for new to emerge. Insight is helpful and may not be enough by itself. Sometimes, we need something

Week 33: Micro to Macro to Micro Opposites & opportunities opening portals pointing to a preponderance of possibilities… Oppapop! After the recent workshop i was in ended, i spent some time (more than one solid day like a mad dog on a bone) clearing out old writing, work, resources and reorganizing. i may not have

Week 32: Loose & Precise Elastic & solid, i enjoy the contrast between loose and precise. Loose without being sloppy. The loose part in these works came first, though after a lot of practice. The precise part, adding color takes as long as it takes. i can be stubborn, a bit too much of a

Week 31: “Missed it by that Much!” It’s a little odd i know, we usually celebrate when we’ve finished something. Not, when we miss the mark. i took a class Writing in Community, starting on the spring equinox with the aim of completing a book by the fall equinox. i didn’t hit the publish button
